Kim Kardashian: My Christmas Gift Got Snail Poisoning!

Kim Kardashian gets into the holiday spirit at the Y100 Jingle Ball on Saturday (December 11) in Miami, Fla.

The 30-year-old reality star took time out to chat about holiday traditions, what she wants for Christmas, and snail poisoning. Check it out:

JJ: What was the best gift you got growing up during the holiday season?

KK: I have to say, I was super emotional as a kid — just like a normal kid. Probably a puppy when I was really little when Kourtney and I were so different. Valentina was its name, but then she died two weeks later because she had snail poisoning.

JJ: What? How’d she get snail poisoning?

KK: I don’t know, snail poisoning – you know when snails leave a little trail? She got super excited and ate it and died. But I was super excited and emotional and Kourtney would come down and wouldn’t care and she didn’t really care that it was Christmas while I was like, “Oh my God! I got a puppy!” We were so different for my mom it was so weird, especially Kourtney because she was so not emotional and she thought that that’s how all kids were going to turn out to be because Kourtney never just cared. But I love Christmas, it’s our family’s favorite holiday.

KK: It seems that all the gifts that I wanted – I don’t remember what it was, but it seemed like Kourtney would get what I wanted. One year I got a fish tank and she got what I wanted and I was devastated, and I remember I ran up crying and I yelled, “I get a fish tank and Kourtney gets to get what I wanted?!” I was such a brat!

JJ: What was that gift?

KK: I don’t know! That’s what’s funny!

JJ: What are you looking forward to getting under the Christmas tree this year?

KK: I like to go to different places, obviously someplace tropical. I might go someplace really snowy this year too, right after holidays; I don’t know, I haven’t skied in a long time. But I like a good tropical vacation, either or – I’ll take it.

JJ: Do you have any favorite holiday family traditions?

KK: Every Christmas Eve we have a Christmas Eve party, after my grandma would give everyone in the family a set of pajamas that are some holiday theme – like flannel pajamas. We have to wear them to bed and have to be at my mom’s house at 6 am, no later. Then we go crazy opening gifts all wearing the pajamas all day.

JJ: If you were to design an ugly Christmas sweater, what would you put on it?

KK: I would put big diamond shapes and over it I’ll make it a big bling sweater. I’ll probably make the ugly sweater better because I do have a bunch of reindeer-snowmen ones that aren’t so cute.
